About Me

I thought it was time I updated this a bit as it was way back ing 2011 when I first started my blog and crafting.
Married to Alistair for now for almost 22 years, who puts up with my ever expanding craft area.
I have 1 lovely son and daughter in law, and various grandpets.
I am never seen without some kind of knitting going on and if not that, it's cardmaking. I have recently started trying my hand at mixed media and sewing.
I sing with the Inverness Choral Society, which I love.
I also love where I live, the Highlands of Scotland.
Oh, and I love Autumn, it's my favourite season with all the fantastic shades of brown and gold, the crispness of the air, and the cosy nights indoors.
And the best bit ever.. is that I'm now lucky enough to be RETIRED!!

Chocolate and Strawberry!

Good Morning to You All, I hope all is well with you and that you have great plans for he weekend, even if it's just a quiet one.We are going to a friend's BBQ this afternoon, I hope the weather holds, a bit watery looking just now, but it might pass over. It's one of the "boys" and it will be lovely too see his wife again whom I've not seen since New Year. So good food, and of course the "Band" will give us some music, and I've got my knitting, yes I'm a sado taking my knitting with me, but I can talk and knit at the same time, s why not.Thank you all for the lovely comments on my Oldie card yesterday, I appreciate your visits and comments. I had new visitor yesterday too, Norm and he left a lovely comment too. I don't know if you know Norm, he posts on Mrs. A's blog at 5 of the o'clock each day and tells of his adventures of the day, he's a great character and he has a lovely girlfriend called Sammy. You can find Norm hereMy card today is another for the Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge;

I've gone for Chocolate and Strawberry this time, another favourite combination of tastes and used images from the Honeysuckle Butterfly and you can find them here, papers are form a beautiful paper pad from the works and I've mounted the image on to Chocolate and pink Centura Pearl card.The colouring is with Gansi Tambi Watercolours after having embossed the image with Wow powders in Copper.The beautiful ribbon and stickpin are from the bundles of the most gorgeous embellishments that I won from Wendy, Spanish Crafter. The colours were just perfect.

The card is just for my box, hence the For You sentiment.I'm off to get a bit of ironing done now and will watch an episode of Colombo at the same time, I've always liked Ironing and watching the old black and white films on BBC 2 that used to be on.Oh and just to say, I didn't get a Fairy back from Skye, unfortunately, Ken and Alistair didn't geanywhere near the Fairy Pools as there were so many Tourists, couldn't even get into the car park. They had planned to go into them, but felt they would look chumps trooping along in their wetsuits, they did go to the Viking Village where there has been lots of excavations going on, said that was so interesting. There rain was awful though, but they enjoyed themselves nevertheless.Cheerio for now and see you soon,

This is such a beautiful card Kate and a perfect take on the colour theme. I think the ribbon adds a touch of luxury and finishes your card off perfectly. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Crafty hugs, Sandra X
